The astropulse app is OpenCL and to be honest Nvidia is a little behind ATI with OpenCL.

CUDA is NVidia's programming model, OpenCL is AMD/ATIs.
Not surprisingly, NVidia spend most of their time developing their model.

OpenCL is a creation of Khronos Group which was put together by a bunch of companies, including both ATI and nVidia, and many others.http://www.khronos.org/about/

Yep, but the fact is NVidia are pushing CUDA- it's their programming model. And AMD are pushing OpenGL.
So each develops for their model.

OpenGL is a creation of Silicon Graphics Inc, and is a cross platform api for writing applications that produce 2D & 3D Graphics, just like OpenCL it is used by many different vendors, Intel, Nvidia, AMD etc

ATI had a lot of research done through Close to Metal, before they went to Brook+ (CAL) and eventually on to OpenCL. Their drivers are more mature when it comes to OpenCL support, than Nvidia's, as Nvidia has been focusing mostly on CUDA for a good 4 years now.

Can you all please stay on topic?
Discussion about NVidia, ATI and OpenCL doesn't belong here.

Thanks all, but as Richard said, we just wrap it all nicely and put it on the van. It's a symbiosis - no installer without apps and the apps would not get as widely distributed without the installer.

As has been pointed out several times, the AP OpenCL NVidia app is not ready for installer inclusion, since it uses a whole CPU core under CUDA 4.x (270.x+)drivers. It will be made available as a beta app [including appropriate app_info] when I have a chance to get round to it.

x41g_cuda32 has been tested with and is safe to use on Kepler.

Does this mean that x38g_cuda32 app can't run Kepler WUs?

BTW, this new kind of WUs are specially marked?

There is no new type of Wu, Kepler is Nvidia's lastest GPU.

ROFL, gotta love the convergence of naming. Good stuff.

x41g_cuda32 has been tested on and runs OK on the nVidia GTX 680 (code name Kepler).

That's what happens if you chuck in a line at the last moment - and I mean the last moment!

It's also what happens if you jump to conclusions instead of reading properly. Sorry, Sutaru.

And it hasn't been tested if x38g runs on GTX 680, but anyone putting a new generation of card in and NOT grabbing the latest installer (or at least reading the boards to make sure the old apps are safe to go) ought to be [censored]. We still have some idiots running V12 on Fermi (um GTX 460+ ?) and that is over 2 years and 4 opt app generations old.

I feel that CUDA apps should be checking the cards Compute Capability and if it's higher than the app has been tested on the app should refuse to run. Maybe there needs to be a way to force it to run, but the default should be to Play Safe.

Hi Ray,
Never going to happen. I never heard of any programmer implementing suicide code except for malicious intent. The builds were designed to be forward & backward compatible, taking advantage of language & driver facilities to do so, and they are. It's a releif that it's proven to work, but deliberately breaking stuff is an approach that has been considered and rejected,

Jason
